A member asked:

Is there any symptom to know if your h.p.v is gone or is there any symptom to know if it is still there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wart strains of HPV produce obvious skin lesions & are gone once removed, although the strain may persist in the tissues. Strains associated with cervical cancer will become dormant after 2 years. All HPV strains can persist after primary healing & those associated with cervical cancer can trigger changes months/years or decades after the first infection, or never.
